SPAK 85 Posted March 22 Really like this one and this mix is very, very good ... drums are just excellent so powerful and deep breath for the addition of guitar well played James! (Just one thing, for me anyway, why did you cut if short ...almost like you ran outta tape 🤔 ...) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look forward to it ... and just a thing, I was taken by your vocal tracks, in that the BG vocal is half time against the main vocal .... on listening again it's sorta Opera'ish ... Maybe one of me favs now I think ( hard to believe when listening to my stuff .. but true anyway ) ATB Steve 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe one of me favs now I think ( hard to believe when listening to my stuff .. but true anyway ) ATB Steve I try to take influences from all kinds of music, and that part of the vocal is somewhat inspired by "an operatic'ish" way of splitting (vocal) lines. Again thanks for the kind words, Steve 😎 All the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Øyvind Skald 99 Posted March 23 (edited) I like it. It has a toutch of post black right? For our norwgians: Bra vokal. Veldig improvisatorisk feeling over det. Gjør det hele så mye mer levende! Edited March 23 by ØSkald 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blir ofte små variasjoner når jeg synger harmoni vokalen på versene. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjornpdx 131 Posted March 23 Zargg I really liked the guitar accom in the quieter parts and the solo was outstanding tho I thought it came in a bit late. Vocal seemed too much in front and as with all metal songs, I can never make out the lyrics. Great collaboration! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bapu taught me where my vocals were supposed to be volume vise, but I might have exaggerated it 😉 But metal vocals are loud 😎 I'll upload the lyrics to Soundcloud, and perhaps here as well.

emeraldsoul 262 Posted March 31 (edited) OK it's heavy, which honestly is not my forte but I still liked it. So I will offer a ridiculous idea: in the section where you are trading between the two chords (like in the 2:00 area) you have a ringy snare? or tom? on the second and fourth beat. It is very much a pitched snare with a ring at a particular pitch. The pitch totally works for the second chord, but it's quite off pitch for the first chord. I bet with some fancy pitch shifting of it onto another track, you could pitch the snare right in tune with the key of the first chord. Or if the drums are virtual, just create instance #2 and pitch that snare up for the first chord. But that would be totally ridiculous! Did that make any sense? probably not. The main things is the vocals (gutturally great), the guitar lines in the lead (very cool) and the nifty drum fills. And that wall of guitars at the end, I wanted that to keep going. Very strong. cheers gents, -Tom Edited March 31 by emeraldsoul 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob Oister 67 Posted April 5 Hi, Ken, You've got a cool piece of Dark Metal here with an almost operatic vibe!🤘 Interesting lyrics and powerful metal vocals. In the intro and some other sections, the vocal style reminded me of System of a Down. James also did some really nice shredding in there, and you can't go wrong with our buddy, Ed on the bass! Nice work by all three of you, great collab!👍 Have a good one, Bob 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
